Nikki Sanderson in tears as she recalls moment mum 'died' in front of her
Coronation Street and Hollyoaks actress Nikki Sanderson has opened up about the moment her mum suffered two cardiac arrests at home and her brother performed CPR which helped save her life
Emotional Nikki Sanderson has recalled the moment her beloved mum collapsed in front of her and her brother.
The 41-year-old Hollyoaks and Coronation Street actress never had to perform CPR before until Jude suffered two cardiac arrests in November 2021.
Nikki and Jude recorded a special film for BBC Morning Live, which aired during Wednesday's (June 25) episode, following the news that around 80 per cent of cardiac arrests happen at home.
Speaking about the horrific moment almost four years on, the actress explained: "I remember screaming to the operator, just begging 'please help us'. We knew she'd gone but we desperately wanted her to come back."
Audio from the frantic 999 call played which featured Nikki, Nikki's brother James and Nikki's boyfriend Anthony Quinlan, who played Pete Barton in Emmerdale.
The TV personality, best known for her roles as Maxine Minniver in Hollyoaks and Candice Steow in Corrie, burst into tears as she listened back to the call handler telling them exactly what to do in a bid to save her mum's life.
The paramedic team quickly arrived and manage to save Jude's life thanks to Nikki's brother performing CPR on Jude.
Later in the film, Nikki met up with paramedic Howard Wolfenden, who was first on the scene, to discuss the terrifying situation she found herself in.
Howard reassured Nikki: "For you guys to do that CPR meant your mum's chance of survival chances had just gone up exponentially."
Jude and Nikki went to meet Howard for a CPR refresher course where he explained exactly what to do if they ever needed to perform it again.
Nikki's mum Jude said: "I'm so thankful that everybody on that night pulled together and fought for me. I just wish everybody would learn CPR."
Before appearing on Morning Live, Nikki shared a clip from the film on her Instagram page. She wrote: "In 2021, my mum suffered two cardiac arrests and died in front of me and my brother.
"Thanks to CPR and the incredible paramedics not giving up, she is still alive today. I've made a film about what happened and the importance of CPR with @bbcmorninglive and it's on tomorrow morning from 9:30am.
"Knowing CPR and what to do in a situation like this could just save a loved one's life… tune into @ bbc one or watch on @bbciplayer."
